It’s that time again! Same location as last year!

When: Saturday, August 3, 2019
Where: Camp Ground Road Woods, Picnic Shelter 1
Google Maps

I have the shelter booked from 7:00am to 7:30pm, but as in the past I think most folks will arrive starting around 10am.

As before, I have paid for the permit, so a couple of $ (depending on how many folks show up) would be appreciated.

Please use this thread to sign up and discuss what you will be bringing!.

I will do my bulk PMs to past attendees, but please help spread the word, especially to guys who don't visit the forum very often! Let's fill the place!

We're going high-tech for sign up this year! Please click the link below to sign up and indicate if you will be cooking, what you can bring, and what your cooker needs are. Please update this as you make decisions :-D

I'm in

LYU370 · Apr 14, 2019

Considering how many people we get for the winter get together, we should easily be able to top the number of people that attended last year's Texas Bash. Which was a blast BTW.

I'm in for 1 so far.

T&S BBQ · Apr 14, 2019

You know were in for 2, I'll figure out what I'm going to bring and let you know

chicagokp · Apr 14, 2019

As of now, i'm in. Subject to change.

I think I can make this again. If any Iowa members want to carpool let me know. I got a decent room for $60/night near the gathering place. I went over on Friday and stayed Saturday and came home on Sunday.

Y'all ever have any Texans show up for y'all's bashes?

Vaguely remember an invite from some guy named Bill . . .

Greg said y'all do put on a mighty fine Bash.

Although I live in North Texas, my companies corporate offices are in Chicago, and I have access to a kitchen in our Northlake R&D lab.

How far a drive to the bash from downtown Chicago? 30 minutes? Maybe I can find a reason to be in town that week and just stay over on Saturday. Hmmmm..... Wheels turning....

The site is very close to O’Hare, so yeah, about 30 minutes from downtown and probably 15 minutes from Northlake.

We would love to have you join us if it works out!

Please note the change in the sign up process!

We are using the sign up spreadsheet that the Texas and Southeast bash folks have used.

Thanks for filling out the form!

Do you need space to heat to potatoes?

HankB · Apr 16, 2019

I've signed up for two. I'd like to cook/bring something. Most smokes take a long time so that would involve "bring." I could smoke mixed nuts. That doesn't take too long. I can do ribs in 4-5 hours on my 26" kettle. I'd have to get there early or we could have them for dessert. :mrgreen: Or I could think of some sides. I think corn is in season then. That would be good. I've done jalapeno poppers too.

Any suggestions? It will be more fun if we don't all bring the same thing.

LYU370 · Apr 16, 2019

I think I might know why we don't get a lot of people showing up in the summer...

They also make it a multiday event at a campground. We talked about looking into that last year but the consensus was not to go that route.

As far as the name, if that is what matters, I can change it. :-D

I know, just being a smartass... :becky:
